[techtalk] RedHat newbie question
I just installed RedHat 6.0, didn't examine what it was installing too closely just accepted defaults. Is it possible there was no compiler installed? (which cc, which gcc both say no gcc in ). If so, how can I install it (or do I need to reinstall RedHat?). Install directions seem to want to use gcc to do the installation. Chicken, egg, etc. Please excuse my extreme cluelessness, I'll catch up I swear. [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.linuxchix.org

Re: [techtalk] Dual-boot Win2K and Linux
I just followed directions for dual booting Linux & NT and didn't have any trouble (at least not related to the dual boot). I used the Windows boot manager so I don't know if LILO has issues.

Re: [techtalk] Dual-boot Win2K and Linux
Windows 2000 Advanced Server something or other and RedHat 6. This was my first time so I needed explicit instructions - the directions I found for dual booting with NT worked for dual booting with 2000 with no changes. If you want I can point you to the pages I followed... On Mon, 31 Jan 2000, J B wrote: > Rebecca- > > Thanks for the response.

Re: [techtalk] Dual-boot Win2K and Linux
Here's the dualboot directions I used: http://www.linuxgazette.com/issue47/deblende.html It recommends the tool bootpart for adding linux to the windows boot menu which worked great for me - bootpart is at http://www.winimage.com/bootpart.htm I found the answer to random windows problems I encountered at http://www.jsiinc.com/reghack.htm and also at tech help on cnet.com good luck!

[techtalk] CVS, networking question
My boyfriend and I both set up WinCVS to access a friend's CVS server. It worked fine under dial-up. We recently got DSL and both have static IPs. I can still log in to CVS just fine, but he no longer can. The command 'cvs login' prompts for a password, then immediately prints the error 'Unknown Host [IP address of server]'. He can ping the IP address just fine, and his CVS settings look just like mine. Any ideas what could be wrong, or how to go about diagnosing the problem? I realize this might be a windows thing but I am completely at a loss. Thanks
